Gianni Versace was the legendary genius who managed to transform the LBD into a SEX SYMBOL! He incorporated the talent of an artist with the skills of a tailor. As a result, his creations became art pieces with a strong personality, some being at the edge of ostentatiousness. Nevertheless, his dresses were made to openly underline the beautiful shapes of a woman’s figure. The black bondage dress in the sado-maso style presented for the Fall Collection of 1992 has definitively consolidated its reputation as a sexy fashion designer.
